Virta awarded Soonicorn status by Tracxn

The Soonicorns - soon-to-be Unicorns - are the most promising tech start-ups in Finland that have reached significant valuation milestones over the previous few years.

As a Soonicorn in Tracxn’s Soonicorn Club of Finland Tech 2022, Virta is showcased in the exclusive list of tech start-ups with valuations of over a few hundred millions and good chances of soon becoming Unicorns.

“The Virta platform is already today used to operate more than quarter billion worth of electric vehicle charging infrastructure and the segment is in hypergrowth, so this nomination makes sense,” says Jussi Palola, CEO & Co-Founder of Virta.

With an 84% faster growth rate than the market, Virta is one of the biggest and fastest-growing electric vehicle (EV) charging platforms in Europe. The company has featured three consecutive years on the Financial Times 1000 ranking of Europe’s fastest growing companies.

The Tracxn Soonicorn Club publicly recognizes high potential and high growth companies across different geographies and sectors. Other Soonicorns who made the Soonicorn Club of Finland list this year include Supermetrics, Swappie, and Whim. In addition to Soonicorns, Tracxn also identifies Unicorns (companies with over $1 billion valuation) and Minicorns (early-stage companies that have the potential to be Unicorns in the long term).

Companies in the Soonicorn Club are handpicked based on a detailed analysis by Tracxn’s internal sector specialist teams, in addition to publicly available signals such as market size, investment by marquee investors, execution excellence, and future growth prospects.
